PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — Korean officials announced Saturday 11 additional cases of norovirus have been confirmed, bringing the total to 139 confirmed cases at the Olympics.

The outbreak, which grew by dozens of cases a day in the leadup to the start of the Winter Games, now appears to be slowing, said Sung Baik You, spokesman for the Pyeongchang organizing committee (POCOG).

Seven of the new cases were at a youth training center where security staff for the Games are staying. Security officials have been the hardest hit by the outbreak.

POCOG said earlier in the week that 900 military police had been added to the games to take over the duties of the ailing security workers.

No athletes have been diagnosed.

In response to the outbreak, POCOG officials say they have designated a supervisor for each facility to monitor daily cleaning of the apartments where athletes, organizers and media are staying. The South Korean government has also distributed 15,000 bottles of hand sanitizers to help stem the outbreak.

The disease is considered highly contagious and typically includes symptoms of diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting and nausea.
